Mechanical resonance

When put into group projects for engineering people tend to ask, what makes a strong team? Since every individual thinks differently there would be endless answers to that question. But there will always be that rare event where 2 completely different people think the exact same way resulting in having the same answer. Just like Joshua Davis, author of the magazine article “La Vida Robot” and Walter Isaacson, author of the novel Steve Jobs. In these passages, both David and Isaacson explain what…

IV. Mechanical analysis for the manipulator arm In this section, the static analysis, forward kinematics and inverse kinematics for the manipulator arm will be discussed. A. Static Analysis The static analysis is very significant in manipulator’s design to roughly approximate the required torques from each motor. In our design, it is important to check the stability of the quadcopter that the manipulator is integrated on it in terms of manipulator arm center of mass shifting as function of…

Why do you wish to become a Cathay Pacific pilot? Becoming a pilot is my long-time dream. As a young boy, I have always been curious about the mechanics of appliances. I often break the parts up — challenging me to know the ins and outs. The best part of it is putting it back together or solving the faults giving me a great sense of achievement. My secondary school was near the Kai Tak airport where I watched take-off and landings and listened to the roaring of the jets every day. This…

friends attend, is that I wish to participate in the Aerospace Engineering program—for which there is no comparable program at VCU. Thus far, commuting to VCU and taking engineering, mathematics and physics courses related to my intended major(s) of Mechanical Engineering and Physics has been exhilarating, and has helped to solidify my interest in engineering. I have had wonderful experiences at VCU, such as crafting a coil gun and undertaking a University Teaching Assistant position; however,…

I went to a college rep visit and the also toured a perspective college. As i do not fulfill the language requirement for california universities I looked into community colleges, out of state universities, and private universities. I then focused on a Johnson and Wales university rep visit and a tour of Sierra Community College. I ultimately chose to go with Sierra. Sierra was originally recommended to me by an engineer at the career fair. It then had a major that I was very interested in,…

What do I want to be when I grow up? A question asked from the time you can talk it seems. Although this thought can be mildly perplexing I feel that through the hard-core pursuit of a higher knowledge in your personalized field of study we all can achieve the answer to the ever difficult question of our destiny. Through this project I have really focused on what I want to be “when I grow up”, I have not only researched through the internet but also through the use of other resources such as the…

The United States Navy has been a major part of my life through family and my career. I grew up in a Navy household and I am proud to say that my loving father, retired from the Navy after 20 years of service. I have also been employed by one of the Navy’s command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) for the past 7 years. I also have several other family members that currently or have served in the U.S. Navy. I have always had such a great deal of respect for my family members,…

the iron rails upon which it rides to sing and arc with stresses. It barges past, its mechanical heart pounding out a relentless beat, reverberating even the air within your throat- as it rushes forth, imbued with authority and momentum, carrying what appears to be endless miles of clanking freight. From as far back as my memory stretches, I have been perpetually and intrinsically fascinated with mechanical power and structure…
